Ingredients
- 10 cups mixed greens lettuce (red lettuce, romaine, spinach, or whatever you like)
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries , sliced
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
- 1/4 cup red onion , diced
- 1 sweet apple , chopped
- 1 cup candied pecans
- 1/3 cup feta cheese crumbles
Creamy Poppy Seed Dressing:
- 5.3 ounces container strawberry yogurt
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1 small piece red onion
- 2 Tablespoons milk
- 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon poppy seeds
Instructions
- Add all of the dressing ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
- Taste. Add additional vinegar if you want it tangier, more sugar if you like it sweeter, or a dab more mayo and splash of milk if you want it creamier.
- Stir in poppy seeds. Store dressing in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
- Make candied pecans.
- Prepare, wash and dry berries, and chop the apple and onion. Add greens to a large mixing bowl. Add toppings (I like to set aside a spoonful of each topping to add at the end, for aesthetics.)
- Toss the mixture in desired amount of dressing. Serve immediately.
